A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 57

"I really don't have the money, Derek. Don't force my hand. As for Linda, she has just gone back to the Xia clan, she can't just ask them for that much money. It's impossible."

Inside of the ward, Linda's foster mother Donna Xie sounded helpless and trembling.

"You don't have the money? You don't have it but Linda does. Just ask her for it! Come on, my dear sister. I'm your only brother. Would you like to see my dream never come true just because I don't have the money?"

Linda couldn't be more familiar with that voice, which belonged to her mother's little brother Derek Xie.

And Linda couldn't be more furious everytime she thought of him. Though Derek Xie was her uncle, he was a total scum.

The Xie clan had always preferred sons to daughters. And therefore Derek Xie always got whatever he wanted since he was a little boy, while his own sister Donna Xie, being as the daughter of the family, had been treated as a housemaid.

A couple years ago when their father had taken ill and couldn't get off his bed, it was Donna Xie who took care of him everyday from dusk to dawn.

Aa for Derek Xie, he wouldn't even answer his sister's calls when she 【need】 his help to send their father to the hospital in the middle of the night, Let alone paid for his share of the medical expenses.

Derek Xie was a middle school drop-out and a total deadbeat. Ever since he left school, he had become a trouble maker who was loafing around all day long, indulging himself in alcohol, tobacco, gambling and girls.

But most ironically, their father had left the house of 860 sq ft along with tens of thousands of cash to his precious son before he died.

Donna Xie inherited nothing from her own father. Soon after their father's death, Derek Xie drove Donna Xie and her daughter Cindy Xie out of the house, with the excuse that his own daughter Lily Xie was in high school and needed her own room for study.

Linda was a college student back then. She 【lived in college】 and tried her best to do all the part-time jobs she could find. She wanted to make more money so as to rent an apartment and get her mother and sister out of that horrible place.

It was not easy for them, but they were happy to have their own place without having to face Derek Xie's nasty face every now and then.

The brother and sister were still quarreling with each other inside.

Noticing Linda's surging fury, Charles Mu then held Linda's little hand tight in his.

Linda stepped forward and pushed the door open.

"Bam!"

The quarrel stopped abruptly. Derek Xie looked over his shoulder and found Linda standing at the door with a tall and handsome man, who seemed quite rich.

He immediately put on a flattering smile, "Oh, it's you, Linda! My dear niece! Come over here, I haven't seen you for years."

Linda rolled her eyes at him and walked straightly toward Donna Xie.

Donna Xie was still trying hard to catch her breath after the row with her brother.

Linda then patted her back gently and tried to make her feel better, "Mother, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Linda."

Donna Xie tried to calm herself down and slowly regain her breath, for she was so pleased to see her daughter again.

Derek Xie felt embarrassed that Linda had been ignoring him since she came in. He was about to burst into anger like he used to, but then he thought of the ￥30, 000 debts, and managed to squeeze another flattering smile while turning his eyes to Charles Mu.

"And this gentleman is?"
